I don't know, Kai, if you knew this.
You know this because I've been going on about this.
This wasn't my idea.
It is definitely my idea to do this because I've been excited about it, but the idea of the After Effects beat was actually, how many people remember the name of the famous author, social critic, and satirist Kurt Vonnegut?
I was super lucky.
I got the last big TV interview with Kurt Vonnegut before he
passed away at the age of 83, and he was magnificent.
I just kind of directed traffic briefly.
I wasn't magnificent.
But Colonel Ivana gets there, I'm here, and he looks at me and he says, what no country, in a gravelly voice, what no country's ever had is a secretary of the future, like at the cabinet level.
And he said, there are no plans for our children and our grandchildren.
And so was he speaking metaphorically?
Was he speaking literally?
Turns out we found on Marketplace Morning Report a country that has a secretary of the future.
Shout out a guess of what country it might have been, even if you don't know the actual answer.
Yes.
China, Kuwait?
Nordic country, right?
Sweden.
Sweden.
